Synchronous Platform
Synchronous delivery of subject curricula
is achieved using video conferencing hardware to conduct H.323 video conferencing and Microsoft Netmeeting software for T.120 application sharing over the Internet2 infrastructure.
A dual screen setup consisting of a “video screen” and “computer screen” is available in all the SMA classrooms. The “video screen” comprises of content from various cameras in the classroom including the presenter, students, chalkboard/whiteboard and visualiser. The “computer screen” displays all computer-based materials such as PowerPoint slides, animations, simulations and other software used by the faculty in the classroom.
Integrating the video and computer content provides a realistic learning environment, which enables both faculties and students from MIT, NTU and NUS to interact without having to be present in the same location.
